Association between NT-pro BNP with overhydration in hemodialysis patients with LVEF ≥ 60% and LVEF <60%.
| Variables | LVEF ≥ 60% | LVEF < 60% | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis standardized coefficient (ß)a | P-value | Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis standardized coefficient (ß)b | P-value | |
| NT-pro BNP (Lg-transformed) | 0.236 | 0.044 | 0.516 | 0.032 |
| Height (cm) | 0.689 | 0.006 | ||
| MAP (mmHg) | 0.238 | 0.030 | ||
NT-pro BNP, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide; MAP, mean arterial pressure; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
a
In the stepwise multiple regression model, the overhydration value is the dependent variable. Adjusted R2= 0.608. Sex, age, height, weight, Hb, Alb, and Scr were removed by stepwise elimination.
b
In the stepwise multiple regression model, the overhydration value is the dependent variable. Adjusted R2= 0.898. Sex, age, weight, MAP, Hb, Alb, and Scr were removed by stepwise elimination.
